FW -190 Portuguese AF - 1/72
« on: June 01, 2017, 08:48:35 PM »
Hi! :D

Occasionally,quite rare actually,I build models.Certainly is much easier,from my point of view,to draw profiles but from time to time a different approach is required.
I start working on this model two years ago  :o and just now is almost ready.
It's an easy assembly kit from Hobby Boss,brush painted with Revell and Agama acrylics,Carpena decals,Vallejo washes and Gunze varnish.The varnish was sprayed with my new airbrush and somehow got into the canopy compromising the clear part in a few areas on the inside.There is no question to detach the canopy,Is very well glued and I don't want to risk even bigger damage,
As usual I don't have a story,but we can imagine that spanish operated this airplane type and one or two forced landed over the border in Portugal.

Heavens, that is pretty. You've got just the right shades on that camouflage and the crisp, clean marking set off well against them. The fact that Turkey operated aircraft similar to Portugal lends plausibility to this hypothetical, as well.

Cheers,

Thanks guys ! :)
And finally is finished.
It could have been better but I'm satisfied that I managed to finish it after two years and one year after the last model...at this rate I need more than one hundred years to clear my stash .

Wow Axor, this is really nice! Really a well done model, if you seldom build a kit and get these results I can't imagine what if.... you would build more often!!!!

That's one of the tastiest Fw-190s I've ever seen! Those Portuguese markings look like they belong!

Outstanding paintwork too!
